4 Well, a few fathers still fix steam engines and build tables, but most do not. Nowadays, most fathers sit in glass buildings doing things that are absolutely incomprehensible to children. The answers they give when asked, “What kind of work do you do, Daddy?” are likely to be utterly mystifying to a child.

5 “I sell space.” “I do market research.” “I am a data processor.” “I am in public relations.” “I am a systems analyst.” Such explanations must seem nonsense to a child. How can he possibly envision anyone analyzing a system or researching a market?

译文
In the common everyday job, nothing is made any more. Things are now made by machines. Very little is repaired. The machines that make things make them in such a fashion that they will quickly fall apart in such a way that repairs will be prohibitively expensive. Thus the buyer is encouraged to throw the thing away and buy a new one. In effect, the machines are making junk.

2 Not so long ago, when a parent said he was off to

Imagine his poor son afterwards mulling over the mysteries of work with a friend, who asks him, “What’s your father do?” What can the boy reply? “It beats me,” perhaps, if he is not very observant. Or if he is, “Something that has to do with making junk, I think. Same as everybody else.”■
